摘要: In a method and apparatus for detecting pattern defects, a UV laser is focused on a pupil of an objective lens and scanned; the focused and scanned UV lens illuminates a specimen on which patterns are formed; the specimen illuminated by the UV laser is imaged: and the resulting image of the specimen is compared with a previously stored reference image. The specimen illuminated by UV light is imaged using an anti-blooming time delay integration image sensor or a back-illumination time delay integration image sensor; and the resulting specimen image is compared with a previously stored reference image.
